time for retailers to step it up
Now is the time for retailers like H&M, Forever21, Gap, Zara, and others to step it up. The American economy is in the can, and people are looking to conserve cash. Even the “wealthy” aren’t looking to spend a ton of money on fashion right now. So, all kinds of women will, no doubt, be visiting the lower-priced retail stores. I hope that this drives these retailers to be more organized, and work on how the merchandise is presented. Every time I go into Forever21, for example, there are racks and racks of clothing stuffed to the gills. Why can’t it be more organized? Why can’t the merchandise be displayed in a nicer fashion? Why does the Zara in Greenwich, CT look like a designer store, but the one on 5th Avenue looks like a hot mess? People want to feel good about the money they are spending, but how can they when retailers don’t treat their own merchandise with pride and respect?
